Plant a Rain Garden
Directing downspouts and sump pump discharges to areas planted with water-loving plants, called rain gardens, helps water filter through the soil and recharges groundwater
Landscape with Native Plants
Planting native plants reduces need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers because these plants are well suited for the environment of New Hampshire. Furthermore, native plants provide food and habitat for many wildlife species.
Reduce Fertilizer Use
Grow and maintain plants that require no fertilization. Reduce lawn area and use only slow release fertilizers.
